Playing her first match at the Australian Open in four years, Caroline Wozniacki advanced into the second round when Magda Linette retired at the start of the second set due to a left leg injury that started hampering her movement midway through the opening set.
The world No.24 Linette managed to level back from 0-2 to 2-2 in the beginning of the match, but that was the last resistance we saw from her. The Pole received a medical timeout at 5-2 in the first set and three lost games later she called it quits.
